Pines was a very good slot wide receiver for Cumberland Valley. He runs good routes and has a good burst when he catches the ball ball. He is really good contested catches and usually comes down with the ball. He has really good hands. I saw him catch the ball when it was thrown low or high several times. He is really good at running seam routes or corner routes from the slot wide receiver position. Pines is also a sound blocker who comes down hill and can block linebackers and other defenders well. Pines projects as a CFB player who has a lot of potential and with a strong Senior year should only increase his profile.

This young man has secured a real D1 grade out of us. Pines also self-reported a 4.57 40 time that is going to show at any position he decides to camp at. I expect schools to pull the trigger at these events, circle Pines’ name if on roster.

Two-way player whose skillset and production should place him in the “ATH” pool. Inside and out slot capabilities on offense. Inside and out slot capabilities on defense as well. Even production on both sides of the ball, Caiden Pines Caiden Pines 6'0" | 185 lbs | WR Cumberland Valley | 2024 State PA provides Cumberland Valley with consistent seam benders that show off the connection he has with CBV’s quarterback. He understands when to break off his routes, when and where he can open up passing windows for his QB. This is the type of wideout coaches and quarterbacks can trust on the field. Solid hands too, they translate over to the defensive side of the football with Pines securing three interceptions this past Fall. His natural hands lead me to believe he’s got a future at wideout at the next level in a similar role he plays now at CBV.
